I'll tag you in the first post I read where they do dude
I know what you're saying. It's not been something amd have done well at since they made my GPU but still it's cost : perf that matters the most to the majority who don't just buy another NV card for mindshare reasons.
That is just it. You need the one to get the other, what
@ShurikN says as well. We all know this, deep down inside, everyone can recognize 'Nvidia mindshare' is a thing but let's just face reality, that is not because of Huang's fancy jacket. Its because of the product.
I think its comparable to a Dacia car versus a Volkswagen. They both accelerate about the same, they carry just as many people and luggage, they do the same amount of KM/L. But, the VW has a somewhat better designed interior, looks a bit nicer on the outside, and comes in twenty different colors. The Dacia comes in three. And, to top things off, VW has a few concept cars going about, and a few fast and luxurious ones too. Nobody ever buys those, but hey, if you drive a simple VW, you do get some of that 'feeling' of being part of the brand that has those cars.
This also handily underlines that people care about more than price - you don't see Dacias everywhere. In fact, price is one of the least important factors in most segments except that volume midrange. And because of that, the midrange is also the least profitable segment. This is why AMD moves units but profits so very little - and therein lies the problem. The midrange is only a result of solid high-end products from last year, or you're constanly doing reboots a'la Polaris to fix the gap and you'll never amass a comfortable margin to fund new R&D.
I think this is a pretty decent car analogy, for once.
Heck it goes further, even; VW has that E-Golf, a pretty useless electrical version of the same car, sounds almost like Turing!
